ABSTRACT

A mechanical striking toy comprises a first assembly having a support part; and a second assembly mounted on the support part and having a pressing part, the pressing part receiving the press action from the user to drive a linkage-driven part of the first assembly, and to drive in turn the execution part of the first assembly to rotate. Further, the linkage-driven part comprises a push rod, the upper surface of a first segment of the push rod contacting against the pressing portion of the pressing part; and an eccentric wheel directly driving the execution part, the eccentric wheel connected pivotally to the support part at a rotation center, the eccentric wheel having a pressed portion displaced from the rotation center, and the pressed portion contacting against the end of the push rod.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a striking toy, particularly, amechanical striking toy.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The “mechanical striking toy” is a toy a movable part of which can bedriven to strike an object by manually pressing its certain part. Forexample, a mechanical striking toy in the prior art has an appearancesimply simulating the shape of a human being, and has a movable leg(usually being the right leg) which can be driven to kick a struckobject such as a football by pressing its head.

In such mechanical striking toys, the neck, the upper body, the waistand a fixed leg of the simulated human being are usually configured as afirst assembly (which is generally formed by combining together twointegrally molded plastic casings through connection means such asscrews and the like), and the simulated head itself is configured as amovable part for receiving the press action.

In the above design in the prior art, the travel of the press action isrestricted by the distance between the lower end of the head and theshoulder of the upper body. Therefore, with respect to a toy with agiven dimension, it is usually necessary that the dimension of the headis shortened unproportionally while the dimension of the neck islengthened unproportionally, in order to achieve a proper pressingtravel for the head.

Moreover, for the purpose of simple manufacture and convenient assemblyin the current mechanical striking toy, a linkage-driven push rod isusually configured into an extension rod, which extends downward fromthe head and directly applies force to the movable leg, and a spring forrestoring the integral unit consisting of the extension rod and the headis provided in the neck of the toy. It can be seen from this design thatthe length of the extension rod cannot be designed having sufficientlength, since the extension rod directly extends downward from the head(and the strength and the whole size of the toy should be considered).Therefore, this causes the size of the upper body and the waist of thetoy will be shortened unproportionally.

In addition, an important issue is that the movable leg in the currentmechanical striking toy is configured as a simple lever mechanism, thefulcrum of which is pivotally connected to the waist of the toy. The endof the short arm of the lever is configured to directly contact with thelower end of the extension rod, and the long arm of the lever is shapedas a leg to kick an object. In this design, in order to assure theeffective contact between the extension rod and the end of the short armduring the pressing procedure (since the rotation movement of the leverduring this procedure will result in a relative displacement between theend of the short arm and the contact point of the extension rod movingalong a vertical line), the short arm is usually configured as a thickrod with a tilting end surface. The projection length of the tilting endsurface in the vertical direction should be substantially equal to orgreater than the effective pressing travel. The term “effective pressingtravel” is referred to the travel in which the extension rod downwardmoves after its lower end contacts the titling end surface of the shortarm. The effective pressing travel may be less than the total travel ofthe extension rod due to the existence of the gaps between the parts.

For achieving a proper effective pressing travel for the extension rodand because of the short arm of the lever being impossible to bedesigned too thick, the angle θ between the titling end surface and thevertical direction is relatively little, thus directly resulting in theless effective component force F₁, which actually drives the lever torotate, of the pressing force F₀ of the extension rod during pressing(according to simple knowledge of mechanics, the effective componentforce F₁ can be given as follows: F₁=sin θ·F₀). Obviously, there is anadverse effect on the press action by the user, and the fulcrum of thelever is subject to the greater component force of the pressing force F₀along the direction of the tilting surface.

The fulcrum of the lever sustaining the undesirable greater componentforce requires the fulcrum of the lever having a higher supportstrength, and also results in an increased rotational friction force atthe fulcrum, which is disadvantageous to the striking movement, andincreases the abrasion between the associated parts at the fulcrum,causing a reduced service life of the toy. Accordingly, two fulcrums areusually provided at the left and right sides of the lever in the priorart, and the double fulcrums can enhance the support strength of thefulcrum of the lever. But the essential problems have not been solved atall, such as the bad operation feel brought to the user, the increasedfriction and the increased abrasion.

Additionally, the linkage-driven scheme in the form of simple lever alsofurther aggravates the disproportion problem among the sizes of variousparts of the toy. It can be deduced from the geometric analysis that,for example, assuming that the projected space between the extension rodand the fulcrum of the lever in the horizontal plane is R, then theeffective pressing travel of the head and extension rod should be atleast R to enable the lever to rotate 45°. Thus, the structure cannotproduce a desired travel amplification, and requires a relatively largetravel of the head and extension rod of the toy, thus aggravating thedisproportion problem among various parts of the toy.

In sum, since the above problems exist in the current mechanicalstriking toys, there is a need for those skilled in the art to develop anew mechanical striking toy, which at least solves the above problems inthe prior art, has a simple structure for convenience of assembly andmanufacture, and also has a better operability and interaction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the general shape ofthe striking toy usually simulates the appearance and garb of a humanbeing, especially professional sportsman (such as football players,American football players, Rugby players, and the like). For example,the general shape of a striking toy 100 shown in FIG. 1 simulates theappearance and garb of an American football player. The striking toycomprises a first assembly 20 having a movable execution part 70, and asecond assembly 40 for receiving the press action from the user. In anembodiment, the execution part 70 is rotatably connected to the upperportion of a leg of the striking toy 100, and has an inside stopper toprevent the execution part 70 from rotating beyond the desired angle.

FIG. 2A is an assembly view of the exploded first assembly 20. As shownin the figure, the first assembly 20 includes a support part 22, alinkage-driven part 60, and an execution part 70. The support part 22thereof simulates the waist and a fixed leg of a human being, and isformed by combining a front casing 22 a and a back casing 22 b of thesupport part, both of which are matched with each other. These casingsare usually molded, and the method for combining these casings arewell-known in the art and not further described in detail herein.

Preferably, one or more reinforcing rib plates are provided in thecasings 22 a and 22 b. For example, in the casing 22 b, a rib plate 23 ais provided at a position corresponding to the middle portion of thethigh, and another rib plate 23 b is provided at a positioncorresponding to the buttock. Similar parts are provided in the casing22 a. It is apparent that these reinforcing rib plates can effectivelyreinforce the integral strength of the support part 22.

At the upper ends of the waists of the front and back casings 22 a, 22 bof the supporting part 22 are a flange 21 a and a flange 21 b extendingoutward, respectively. Each of the front and back casings 22 a and 22 bof the supporting part 22 respectively has a waist separation sheet 24 aand 24 b on the upper end surface of the waist. Each of the waistseparation sheets 24 a and 24 b respectively has a notch 25 a and 25 bat the center of their respective side edge. When the front and backcasings are jointed together, the side edges of the waist separationsheets 24 a and 24 b are flushed, and both of the notches 25 a and 25 bare aligned with each other to define an integral horizontallylongitudinal groove 25, so as to provide an access passage from thesecond assembly 40 to the execution part 70 for the linkage-driven part60.

Two right-angled plates 26 a′ and 26 a″ respectively extends from thetwo side edges of the groove 25 a. An edge of each right-angled plate 26is substantially aligned with the corresponding edge of the groove 25,and another edge is substantially aligned with or spaced from thecorresponding edge of the waist separation sheet. Two similarright-angled plates 26 b′ and 26 b″ are provided at the side edges ofthe groove 25 b. When the front and back casings 22 a and 22 b arecombined together, four right-angled plates 26 a′, 26 a″, 26 b′ and 26b″ are arranged vertically around the groove 25 to provide a support forthe elastic repositioning member in the linkage-driven part 60 and alsoprovide a guiding function for the push rod 61 described hereinafter.

In the embodiment, the linkage-driven part 60 includes a push rod 61, arepositioning spring 64, and an eccentric wheel/cam 66.

The push rod 61 employs a three-segment structure, i.e., a first segment61 a, a second segment 61 b, and a third segment 61 c. The first segment61 a, which has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape and ashorter length in the vertical direction, defines an enlarged head ofthe push rod 61.

The cross-sectional shape of the second segment 61 b is alsosubstantially rectangular, but the size of each side of the rectangle inthe second segment 61 b is shorter than the corresponding side in thefirst segment 61 a. In particular, the front surface of the secondsegment 61 b has a smaller offset from or is substantially aligned withthe front surface of the first segment 61 a. Thus, the back surface ofthe first segment 61 a significantly projects from the back surface ofthe second segment 61 b so that a backward projected portion of thefirst segment 61 a is formed. A repositioning spring 64 with a properdiameter can be surrounded about the second segment 61 b from the firstsegment 61 a of the push rod 61. It should be appreciated for thoseskilled in the art that the first segment 61 a, as an enlarged head ofthe push rod 61, is still less than the diameter of the repositioningspring 64. Therefore, after the assembling, the upper end of therepositioning spring 64 will not be limited by the first segment 61 a.

The cross-sectional shape of the third segment 61 c is alsosubstantially rectangular, and the width of the cross-section is thesame as that of the second segment 61 b, but the length of thecross-section is larger than that of the second segment 61 b (the lengthof the cross-section of rectangle is the length in the horizontallylongitudinal direction) and is greater than the diameter of therepositioning spring 64. In other words, the cross-sectional shape ofthe third segment 61 c is a flat longer rectangle. The end of the thirdsegment (i.e., the end of the push rod 61) extends through the groove 25to contact against the pressed portion 67 of the eccentric wheel 26. Itcan be appreciated for those skilled in the art that the shape of thegroove 25 is substantially matched with the cross-sectional shape of thethird segment 61 c, and the cross section of the groove 25 is slightlylarger than the cross section of the third segment 61 c. Further, in theoriginal state (i.e., the state wherein no press action is done), theupper end surface of the third segment 61 c is substantially flush withthe upper end surface of the right-angled plate 26. Thus, as the pushrod 61 is pushed integrally downward, the upper end surface of theright-angled plate 26 may support the lower end of the repositioningspring 64.

A side of the eccentric wheel 66 is fixed on the execution part 70, oralternatively, the eccentric wheel 66 can be formed integrally with theend of the execution part 70. The connecting or forming manner of theeccentric wheel 66 with the execution part 70 may be not important,provided that the eccentric wheel 66 can directly drives the executionpart 70.

Another side of the eccentric wheel 66 is connected pivotally to thesupport part 22 at a rotation center (not shown). The pressed portion 67of the eccentric wheel 66 for receiving the pressure from the push rodis displaced from the rotation center. Preferably, in the originalstate, the pressed portion 67 is positioned in the horizontal rear ofthe rotation center. This driving manner using an eccentric wheel and amatched push rod with an flat and long end enables the larger effectivecomponent force of the pressing force to actually drive the executionpart 70 to rotate, with only the less component force applied to therotation center. Therefore, the toy according to embodiments of thepresent invention can lower the friction at the rotation center of theexecution part 70 in the toy 100, and reduce the abrasion of the relatedparts, thus providing an improved hand-feel for the user's operation andelongating the service life of the striking toy 100.

The above support part 22, linkage-driven part 60 and execution part 70after being assembled together constitute the first assembly 20 shown inFIG. 2B. In order to further complete the striking assembly 100, theassembled first assembly 20 should be assembled at least with the partsof the second assembly 40 together, as shown in FIG. 3A.

The second assembly 40 includes a head and an upper body part (includinga neck), and is formed of a front casing 43 a and a back casing 43 bconnected together, particularly referred to as pressing part 43 herein.Further, the second assembly 40 also includes two arm member 44 a and 44b, which are connected to the left and right sides of the pressing part43 fixedly, pivotally, or rotatably with self-locking. The secondassembly 40 also may include a face protection shield 42 and the like toprotect the head 41 a.

It should be noted that the head 41 a and the upper body 41 b in thepreferred embodiment of the present invention is an integral unit (i.e.the pressing part 43), which receives the press action from the user andmove downward together. Obviously, such parts can be designed in theproper proportion between different parts as desired, and the problemdoes not exist any longer that the size proportion between the variousparts of the striking toys in the prior art cannot be harmonized or isdifficult to be harmonized. Of course, it is necessary to appropriatelydesign the movement transmission relationship between the secondassembly 40 and the push rod 61 of the first assembly.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of ribplates with multiple functions are provided in the back casing 43 b ofthe pressing part 43. These rib plates not only reinforce the integralstrength of the pressing part 43, but also achieve the movementtransmission relationship with the push rod 61 in the first assembly 20.

As shown in FIG. 3A, a vertical rib plate (referred to a pressingportion 45 herein) extends integrally along the vertical middle line ofsymmetry within the pressing part 43. In the meantime, a horizontal ribplate (referred to a lifting portion 46) extends integrally in thehorizontally transverse direction within the pressing part 43. The endof the pressing portion 45 intersects the middle portion of the liftingportion 46. The pressing portion 45 has a first notch 47 a at theintersection, and the lifting portion 46 also has a second notch 47 b atthe intersection. Preferably, two pressing-spring ribs 49 a and 49 bextend downward respectively from the bottom surface of the liftingportion 46 adjacent to the two side edges of the second notch 47 b. Inthe horizontally longitudinal direction, the two pressing-spring ribspreferably extend forward beyond the side edge of the lifting portion46, and more preferably extends sufficiently forward to press againstthe repositioning spring 64 which will contact against the spring ribs.Furthermore, the two pressing-spring ribs also preferably extendbackward finally into the inner wall of the back casing 43 b of thepressing part 43. Additionally, Each of the ends of the front casing 43a and the back casing 43 b in the pressing part 43 has a flange 48extending inward.

When assembling the assembled first assembly 20 and the parts of thesecond assembly 40, the backward projection portion of the first segment61 a of the push rod 61 engages into the first notch 47 a to bepositioned between the end of the pressing portion 45 and the uppersurface of the lifting portion 46. The second segment 61 b of the pushrod 61 passes through the second notch 47 b and extends downward, andthe repositioning spring 64 around the second segment 61 b contactsagainst the bottom surface of the pressing-spring rib 49. Preferably,the repositioning spring 64 should be in a preloaded state to make thesecond assembly 40 in the original state have a “tendency” of movingupward relative to the first assembly 20, thus the flange 48 extendinginward from the lower end of the pressing part 43 contacting against theflange 21 extending outward from at the upper end of the waist of thesupport part 22 (which can be realized by simply configuring the sizerelationship among various parts or portions, not described in detailherein). Such preferred configuration provides a relatively tight“clip-on” engagement between the first assembly 20 and the secondassembly 40, which ensures the complete repositioning of the pressingpart 43 and effective positioning between the first assembly 20 and thesecond assembly 40. The assembled first assembly 20 and second assembly40 is shown in FIG. 3B.

Additionally, the striking toy 100 of FIG. 1 also may include a struckobject 80, which is removably placed in front of and below the executionpart 70. And when the pressing part 43 is pressed down, the executionpart 70 strikes the struck object 80 to make it move. The struck objectis preferably an object of light material, more preferably a ballobject, such as a hollow ball (e.g., a micro-football or micro-rugby)made of rubble or plastics.

Particularly, the first assembly 20 also may include a base 50 on whichthe end of the support part 22 is fixed. The base 50 usually has arelatively large bottom area to enable the support part fixed thereon tobe placed more securely on the desk or ground. Preferably, the weight ofthe base 50 may be relatively great to provide a better stability forthe striking toy 100. Further, for the convenience of placing the struckobject 80 on the base 50, a recess may be provided on the upper surfaceof the base for placing the struck object 80 (the periphery of therecess may project slightly from the upper surface of the base) toprevent the struck object 80 from the undesired rolling or displacement.

Alternatively, an adjustment mechanism 55 may be provided in the base 50to specially adjust the position of the struck object. FIGS. 4A and 4Bshow the base 50 with such an adjustment mechanism. It can be seen thatthe adjustment mechanism 55 has a placement portion 51. The recess 52 onthe placement portion 51 is used to accommodate the struck object 80,and the placement portion 51 may be linearly moved relative to the base50 along a horizontally longitudinal direction. The various possiblepositions of the placement portion may be defined as an originalposition and at least one adjusted position with an increased distancefrom the execution part. The user can adjust the distance between thestruck object 80 and the execution part 70 by withdrawing the adjustmentmechanism 55 from the base 50 or pushing the adjustment mechanism 55into the base 55. The adjustment mechanism 55 may be implemented in avariety of ways, and its specific structure is well-known or easilyrealized for those skilled in the art, not described in detail herein.

FIGS. 5A and 5B show a kicking process to the struck object 80 by thestriking toy 100 respectively in the original position and in anadjusted position. As the head 41 a of the striking toy 100 is presseddownward, the second assembly 40 along moves down for a distance, andthe push rod 61 also moves down for the same distance. The end of thepush rod 61 pushes the eccentric wheel 66 to rotate to drive theexecution part 70 to rotate, and the execution part 70 finally strikesthe struck object 80.

Since the distance between the execution part 70 and the struck object80 in FIG. 5A is less than the distance between the execution part 70and the struck object 80 in FIG. 5B, the struck point between theexecution part 70 and the struck object 80 in FIG. 5A is lower in heightthan the struck point between the execution part 70 and the struckobject 80 in FIG. 5B. As shown, the flying height of the object in FIG.5A is higher than the flying height of the object in FIG. 5B.

Further, the execution part may be divided into two sections, i.e., anupper section 72 simulating the thigh of a human being and a lowersection 74 simulating the shank and foot of a human body. In a preferredembodiment, the lower section 74 may self-lockably rotate about the endof the upper section 72 over a certain angle range. The self-lockablerotation herein means that, when rotated manually about the front end ofthe upper section 72 to some specified positions or any positions, thelower section 72 can keep fixation relative to the upper section 72 inthose positions. A variety of connecting means for self-lockablerotation are well-known for those skilled in the art, and then thespecific connecting structure for the self-lockable rotation is notdescribed in detail herein. FIGS. 6A-6C show various states wherein thelower section 74 is respectively in the straight and front position, inthe striking position of right 45° and in the striking position of leftangle 45°, relative to the upper section 72

FIG. 6B is another front view of the striking toy of FIG. 1, wherein theexecution part is in the striking position of right 45°.

FIG. 6C is still another front view of the striking toy of FIG. 1,wherein the execution part is in the striking position of left 45°.

In another further embodiment of the present invention, a target member(not shown) is provided for the striking toy 100 to improve theinteraction of the game. For instance, the target member may beimplemented as a football goal or a rugby goal, and placed in a spaceddistance before the execution part 70 to be aimed at by the user. Thestriking toy 100 is operated to kick the struck object 80 into orthrough the target member.

Although some exemplary preferred embodiments have been illustrated anddescribed above, other embodiments can be directly deduced by thoseskilled in the art according to the spirit of the invention, whichshould be considered to fall into the protection scope of the presentinvention. For example, in another embodiment of the present invention,the general shape of the striking toy may simulate the shape of cartoncharacters, or alternatively, the striking toy may have any desiredshape, provided that the toy has a second assembly for receiving thepress action from the user and a first assembly including a movableexecution part.
